HT1338 Safari has "disappeared" from my desktop. How do I get it back?

Safari has disappeared from my desktop. How do I get it back?
This is a family computer and no telling how it was deleted. Firefox is OK, but seems to be running slow with a few annoying pop-ups. I am a novice Mac-ophile.
Suggestions?

Go to the Apple Menu and use Software Update, enter your password and do what it says, check again to make sure it's clear.
Next look in your Applications folder for Safari and drag it's icon to the Dock, and place Safari there, it will make a new "shortcut"
If Safari is not working then
Next see if you can download the Safari from here using Firefox and install it.
https://www.apple.com/safari/
If it says "can't install blah blah blah" then exit and trash the installer.
Apple issues newer Safari versions via Software update and it takes some time to get it on the web side.
But that's how you re-install Safari, however the Software update likely will fix your malware issue and provide a new Safari.
If you need Safari right away there is a way to reinstall it and all of OS X at once, quite a chore.

  • TA38616 Safari has disappeared from my phone - how do I get it back?

    Safari has disappeared from our iPhone. It's nowhere to be found with apps, and isn't listed in settings anymore. FaceTime is also gone. No idea how they disappeared. How do I get them back? Do I need to do a full reset?

    Make sure to mark the thread as solved so others can refer to it for help. Let me know if you need anything else!
    Edit: I'd put a password on your phone to prevent changes like this. You can have one that is required to unlock it, but if you have others (kids, family) use the phone and don't want that, you can still put a password just to prevent changes to certain settings. Might help in the future.

  • My music has disappeared from my library, how can I get it back?

    The music I have purchased from the itunes store has disappeared from my library, how can I get it back?

    There is a way of getting your music back if you have purchased it - go to the itunes store, click "purchased" under the "quick links" on the right hand side of the page, near the top, and then it allows you to re-download anything that you have purchased under that apple id. Phew! Over 200 songs - I'm glad i found this out!

  • TS1702 An app has disappeared from my ipad, how do I get it back on when syncing did not do it?

    I downloaded the cooking light app but it has disappeared from my ipad, how do I get back?  I have already tried syncing did not work.

    Use your iPad's Search screen to locate it. If it's truly no longer present, then just download it from the App Store again.

  • TS1702 My purchased Draw Something App has disappeared from my iPhone, how do I get it back and will I have lost my points and current game?

    I have been using my draw something app for about a year and a half and suddenly it has disappeared from my iPhone.  What do i do now? I had loads of points and was up to about 30 on my latest game so if I download the app again will I go back to the start.

    Does a spotlight search on the device indicate the app is installed?
    Is the app selected to sync in iTunes?

  • The option to set a limit on 'undo's has disappeared from preferences. How do I get it back?

    The first time I used AE, we had a power cut. The next time I opened the application I went to check my preferences and the option to set a limit on 'undo's has completely disappeared from the general preferences panel. Is the application damaged/corrupted?
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling AE but the 'undo's limit is still missing...

    The preference for controlling the number of undo levels was removed in After Effects CC (12.1). The number of undo levels is 99, the maximum.
    I presume that the update was installed between the last time you changed this value and when you noticed the change.

  • Help, my Clock has disappeared from menu bar, how can I get it back ?

    Can someone please tell me how to return my clock to the menu bar directly above the Mac HD icon?
    I went to system preferences, clicked clock, clicked the date and Time tab and found it set on Show date and time, View in menu bar, view as analog. Under that it said show AM / PM and Show day of the week. These last two selections were printed in pale gray, not in black. On the lower left corner of this date and time tab, was an open lock. I clicked it closed in hopes this action would return my clock to the menu bar. It did not. So I clicked the lock open again. I would very much appreciate someone telling me how to return my clock to the menu bar. Thank you in advance

    You should consider updating to 10.4.11,
    But perhaps your Mac needs a bit of TLC:
    Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
    Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
    In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
    This only takes a minute or two.

    An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:

    If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
    Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

  • CS5 registration has disappeared from MyAccount.  How do I get it back?  I have disks.

    I haven't logged in to Adobe  for more than a year, but I'm moving the s/w to another machine.  Why does Adobe do this?

    What problem are you having?  If you have the disc(s) then the serial number should be on the disc package.  If you only have the one machine with the software installed you still have the option to install and activate on a second machine.  You can deacrivate the original installation by opening one of the applications and selecting Help -> Deactivate

  • Notes application disappeared from my iMac, how do I get it back?

    My notes application has disappeared from my iMac, how do I get it back?

    If you don't find it: start the iMac while holding the Alt(option) key: you get the EFI menu, choose the recovery disk, reinstall Lion: this leaves the user data untouched. But as always: backup.
    It will restore the system apps also.

  • My Firefox menu button has disappeared. Why? How can I get it back? Without it I don't know how to get to my FTP.

    My Firefox menu button has disappeared. Why? How can I get it back? Without it I don't know how to get to my FTP. I never did anything to make this happen.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.

  • IPhoto has disappeared!!! How do i get it back??

    HELP!!
    My iphoto is/was located on an external harddrive. it was workong fine. the only 2 new things i did was register my computer to DropBox & re-plugged in my external harddrive via a newUSB 3.0 Hub, to give me extra USB ports. My externaldrive then started making continious noises, a bit like bleeping. When i clicked onto iphoto it asked me which library did i want to use (before my computer never asked me this it just went straight to iphoto on my external harddrive) & there was no options. & my external harddrive wasn't showing up on my computer!
    Where has my iphoto gone &how can i get it back???
    Please help! SOS

    Take the EHD off the USB hub and plug it directly into your Mac.  Then launch iPhoto and see if you can find the library and open it.
    Is the USB hub self powered?
